Kiki's Bike Messenger Service

Description

Long time no post!! XD I keep pretty busy with work and cycling these days so I haven't had much time to really sit down and draw.  I still sketch a bit here and there and draw a lot of architecture for work... but drawing for fun, drawing anime inspired stuff doesn't happen so much.

Anyway, I got a new toy to help me get more digital work in. This is the first really finished image to come of it.

The concept was what if Kiki from Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service wasn't a witch, but instead an ordinary girl who's talent happened to be cycling (instead of flying on a broom)! So the logical result would be to become a bike messenger to make her way in a new city :D So I drew Kiki in a more urban cyclist appropriate outfit, gave her a sweet old track bike, and a proper Chrome messenger bag. The background very much inspired by the street's of the San Francisco mission district where track bike culture got really big.

Anyway, hope ya'll enjoy. I can't promise I'll start posting more, but I would like to if I can find some time here and there.

ALSO, side note, I made a T-shirt version of this available on Redbubble. I ordered one myself and it came out OK, colors not quite as punchy as I would have liked. However, I made the mistake of ordering a dark color shirt which didn't contrast enough. So if you get one, I recommend a lighter color XD Here's the link:

Did she borrow that bike from Tombo?


She could also go with strapping a glider and a propeller on it.
